Abstract
--------
Authentication codes have been developed since 1974, while error correcting codes 
have a long history. There are several approaches to the construction of 
authentication codes without secrecy using error correcting codes. We present 3 
constructions which are generalizations of some known constructions. Within the 
frameworks, we construct several classes of authentication codes via certain 
types of error correcting codes. Some authentication codes are better than 
known ones with comparable parameters. Others which cannot be compared with 
existing ones are asymptotically optimal. 

This is joint work with C. Ding.
